Install the SMC in Demo Mode

The Demo Mode installation creates a simulated network environment for evaluation.

1. Log on to the operating system with administrator rights in Windows or as the root user in Linux.
2. Start the Installation Wizard from a .zip file or the Installation DVD.
   Decompress the .zip file.

   • On Windows, the executable is \Forcepoint_SMC_Installer\Windows-x64\setup.exe
   • On Linux, the executable is /Forcepoint_SMC_Installer/Linux-x64/setup.sh

   If the DVD is not automatically mounted in Linux, use the following command:

   mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

3. Select the language for the installation, then click OK.
   The language that you select is also set as the default language of the Management Client.
4. Read the information on the Introduction page, then click Next.
   Tip: Click Previous to go back to the previous page, or click Cancel to close the wizard.
5. Select I accept the terms of the License Agreement, then click Next.
6. (Optional) Select where to install the SMC, then click Next.
   The default installation directory in Windows is C:\Program Files\Forcepoint\SMC. Click Choose to browse to a different installation folder.

   Note: If you install the SMC in C:\Program Files\Forcepoint\SMC, the installation creates an extra C:\ProgramData\Forcepoint\SMC folder, which duplicates some of the folders in the installation directory and also contains some of the program data.
7. (Linux only) Read the instructions about the hosts file, make any necessary configuration changes, then click Next.
8. Select where to create shortcuts, then click Next.
   These shortcuts can be used to manually start components and to run some maintenance tasks.
9. Select Demo Mode as the installation type, then click Next.
10. Select the Standard demo backup to simulate a standard preconfigured environment, then click Next.
    You can also use the Select your own backup file option to create the simulation based on your environment.
11. Read the description of the Demo Mode installation, then click Next.
12. Check that the information in the Pre-Installation Summary is correct, then click Install.
13. When the installation has completed, click Done.
